"The first few episodes are a bit slow, but stick with it. There's a reason why it's considered one of the greatest shows of all time, and it's well deserved. Every season got better and crazier than the previous one. Bryan Cranston made me sympathise with a former chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin, Aaron Paul was heartbreaking as Jesse, and the rest of the cast just made that show incredible."

"I was one of those people who couldn’t be bothered getting into it after three seasons because there seemed a lot to catch up on. I gave it a try, then binged three seasons in two months just in time for the fourth season to start. Then I read all the books."

"As a twenty-something Hispanic woman, it's a breath of fresh air to see someone who looks like me going through some similar struggles, familial nuances, and more. It's a satirical telenovela and it's heartwarming, dramatic, romantic, and hilarious."

"On first glance it looks like just another rubbish post apocalyptic teen drama, but damn does it get good. The plot is plausible, and the characters are very well-written and well-rounded. It's essentially a show about morals, diplomacy and what it takes to survive and it is addictive as hell."

"I will go to my grave swearing up and down that Firefly is one of the most unique, brilliant, wonderful shows to ever appear on television. There is literally nothing else like it. An existential space western shouldn't work and yet it does so perfectly. The fandom was even able to help make a follow up movie happen a couple years later, in order to continue the story and address unanswered questions."

"I never thought I'd have any interest in it but after I finally made myself watch the first episode, I was hooked. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are brilliant actors and their chemistry is so perfect. There's just the right amount of humour to keep it light. It's seriously one of the most well-written, well-acted shows on TV."

"It is fantastic in every way. The costumes are amazing, the storyline, the cast, the acting. You really can't go wrong with this show. Claire is such an amazing badass, Jamie is just a beautiful gentleman, and the main villain is just so bad and yet so human. It's just. So. Good."

"One person playing so many characters, the intricate plot lines, the moments of side splitting hilarity, and heartbreaking emotion all make it such a fun series to binge on. Don’t be fooled by the Netflix blurb, Orphan Black is a televisual masterpiece."

"I think every actor on that show nails their character. It balances comedy and drama better then any other show on TV right now. You relate to the Gallaghers and root for them even when they are completely fucking up their lives."

"I didn’t watch it when it was actually on TV, and I never watched it up until a couple months ago. I had always heard that it was an awesome show, and I never thought it would be something I would like, but boy was I wrong! It’s awesome! Kinda cheesy, but totally worth it, and I’m hooked."

"I didn't watch until last year when it was already 12 seasons in but I'm glad I did – there's so many different characters that everyone can find someone to relate to. There's times when it's overdramatic but it has so much heart and I'm yet to find someone who can get through all the episodes without crying at least once!"

"From the outside looking in, it seems like a creepy show about aliens, but real fans know it’s actually the greatest love story of all time. People have been obsessed with this show for over 20 years, and for a good reason. Watch the first three episodes and you’ll be hooked!"

"I could literally watch every episode a thousand times over and still laugh (and I do). It's so positive and the humour isn’t based around people being assholes to each other. It's filled with honest, smart comedy and it isn’t half-assed like so many popular shows are."

"By the end I felt like I knew Steven and Brendan and, without giving anything away to people that haven’t seen it (why haven’t you seen it!?), I’ve never hated a lawyer so much! I seriously need a new series with updates soon."
